Share the Spirit Week flyer with our students & join in the fun! Monday is dress cozy day!

Dates to Note

• 1.4, 4p.m.

  • Conference schedule due to Jennifer Dierkes

  • If you use one video conferencing link all day, send it to Jennifer. If you want to use a different video conferencing link for every meeting, you will need to create links and share them directly with families.

  • Please include your 30-minute lunch & two 15 minute breaks in your schedule.

• 1.8, 8a.m. Conference scheduler opens for families

  • As in the past, a week before conferences, Jennifer will email you updates of families who have signed up.

• 1.22, 8a.m.-4p.m. Virtual Family-Teacher Conferences

Ideas Developed by Kingsley Staff

• To begin virtual conferences, Invite families to share a strength and a growth area that they see in their child.

• Virtual communication is different. Use breakout rooms with a team teacher in each room to facilitate better virtual communication. One person will monitor the main room and move family members into individual teacher breakout rooms

• Develop a Google Form to let families submit questions. These questions can be answered prior to or instead of a conference.

• Develop a Google Form that auto-generates a letter or certificate noting strengths of students who are thriving & doing well. Before conference invites launch on January 8, these will be emailed to families of students who are doing well instead of a conference.

We will keep adding to these ideas & sharing!
